What is the relationship between the intensity of illumination and the distance from a point source?

I ∝ 1/r^2 (correct)

I ∝ r^2

I ∝ r

I ∝ 1/r

According to the principle of photometry, what is the relationship between L1 and L2 when I1 = I2?

L1 = L2

L1 ∝ L2

L1^2 r1^2 = L2^2 r2^2 (correct)

L1^2 = L2^2

What is the unit of illuminance?

Lumen per meter

Lumen per square meter (correct)

Candelas per square meter

Candelas per meter
